What's rate design, and how's it changing?

Your bill shows different charges, fees and other adjustments that make up the total cost of your energy bill, which you can view here. Rate design is the way we set bill amounts and define charges and fees.

Within our rate update, we streamlined your Customer Charge to $11.47 for all Missouri customers, which is roughly a $1 decrease for KCP&L Missouri. Below are energy charges for common rates:
